What does eggplant parmesan taste like?
Eggplant parmesan tastes very similar to regular chicken parmesan. People often wonder what flavor the eggplant itself lends the dish. Eggplant has a very mild flavor, like spaghetti squash. Because it has such a mild flavor, it’s easily used in recipes that have bold flavors. In something like eggplant parmesan, the eggplant flavor itself isn’t even really tasted.

How thick do you cut eggplant for eggplant parmesan?
Eggplant should be sliced about 1/4 inch thick when making eggplant parmesan. Simply cut off the end and slice into large, 1/4-inch thick circles.

Do you have to peel eggplant before you cook it?
The peel of an eggplant is completely edible. However, as the eggplant grows bigger and matures, the peel may become tough and bitter. People often prefer to peel larger eggplants because of this, but smaller eggplants do just fine unpeeled. It ends up being a matter of personal preference.

Best recipe I ever made, my family, totally loved this. Especially when the eggplant came fresh from my garden.👍👍👍
This is a recipe I use in my meatless Monday. Always a hit with hubby and even easy enough to make in the motor home. Just yummy!
Hands down the best Eggplant Parm recipe! The eggplant was perfectly crispy and using the fresh mozzarella just made it next level.
I only make this once a year when the eggplants are ready and this recipe is amazing!!! Perfect combination of ingredients and not to saucy Just perfect!!!
Made it and it turned out so yummy .I was scared it wouldn’t come out as it looks but it did not too hard to make .I will be making it for family more offen !
This was tasty but the recipe required 5 eggs for two large eggplants and would have been much better if twice the amount of sauce was used. The sauce amount was too skimpy. I cut the eggplant in 1/4 “ slices but the video looks like the slices are 1/2”. Needs more Parmesan. Low fat which was great! I will make this again and adjust quantities as needed now that I’ve made it once.
First time making this and pretty easy and very good. I only had shredded mozzarella so I used it. Next time I’m using the good stuff.
Loved this so much!!!
This recipe is SO delicious! It was my first time making eggplant Parmesan and this is now seriously a new fave in our house. Thank you!
